Thea

This is a poem I wrote about the little girl I lost when I was a teenager.

On every thirtieth of May,

I send a prayer to God.

I ask him to give Thea,

A birthday hug from mom.

I try to picture her face today,

Smiling down on me...

With innocent eyes

Of a seven year old,

Protecting her mommy,

Until the day we can meet.

so moving and heart felt.


she is in the loving arms of our father.


I hope that the days get easier for you
and less painful It isn't the easiest thing to
overcome when one losses a child.


This is such a strong piece I see your strength
in every word and your love may god always bless you.



Thank you for sharing such a personal piece.



Blessings. Benita

What can we say of beauty when it reaches the apex of sweetness? Sympathy for your loss, praise for your soul.

When my second daughter was born on Valentines Day, we lost her twin sister. So I know how you must fell on that day every year, or at least to some extent. This is very touching. I am sure your little girl has received many, many hugs from God.

Several years ago, I lost a cousin to cancer at age six...I would never make a claim to know how someone feels under these kinds of circumstances because everyone's experience is different and we can never truly understand how another person is feeling, but I can definitely relate...I don't have the words to articulate how hard this one hit me except to say that it left me with damp eyes...painfully beautiful...you've certainly captured this reader's heart and tears with this one.
